 ** The UTF-8/16/7 coding systems don't encode CJK (Far Eastern) characters.
 
-Emacs by default only supports the parts of the Unicode BMP whose code
-points are in the ranges 0000-33ff and e000-ffff.  This excludes: most
-of CJK, Yi and Hangul, as well as everything outside the BMP.
+Emacs directly supports the Unicode BMP whose code points are in the
+ranges 0000-33ff and e000-ffff, and indirectly supports the parts of
+CJK characters belonging to these legacy charsets:
+
+    GB2312, Big5, JISX0208, JISX0212, JISX0213-1, JISX0213-2, KSC5601
+
+The latter support is done in Utf-Translate-Cjk mode (turned on by
+default).   Which Unicode CJK characters are decoded into which Emacs
+charset is decided by the current language environment.  For instance,
+in Chinese-GB, most of them are decoded into chinese-gb2312.
 
 If you read UTF-8 data with code points outside these ranges, the
 characters appear in the buffer as raw bytes of the original UTF-8

 substituted with the Unicode `replacement character', and you lose
 information.
 
-To edit such UTF data, turn on Utf-Translate-Cjk mode, which makes
-many common CJK characters available for encoding and decoding and can
-be extended by updating the tables it uses.  This also allows you to
-save as UTF buffers containing characters decoded by the chinese-,
